CMJ Trans - I think that your suggestion could work- the way I read it now, with your help is that, contrary to what he saw on the Internet, where he was thrown about all over the place, he went across the furrows and it felt as though, as you say, he was going with the furrows, in other words, that he wasn't bumped about much. Does that seem to make sense?

Sounds like "sens de marche" as opposed to "en travers"? Could it be that the cabin somehow swivels? I have never heard a figurative meaning to "sens de marche" in French French.

going with the flow

Explanation:"You were not sent email notification of this question" appeared on my screen. I am not an expert with colloquial terms, but this just seems to me to be a cheerful comment: "I felt I was just going with the flow", an English colloquial term.
i.e. it felt very pleasant and easy. Hope this helps.

Explanation:As found in TermiumPlus. From the context given, it seems that a customer is commenting favourably on the driver's level of comfort, saying that it's not just sales "spiel". As I understand it, while working at an angle, on a slope, he felt as though he was working on the level, in the direction of travel.
